Day 2 - Saturday
The last thing I want to do today is another workout because I am sore from yesterday, mostly in my calf muscles and my triceps of my right arm. This is the arm that I was concerned with before starting this program. This arm is at great risk for lymphedema because of the lack of lymph nodes left after the cancer surgery. Today, I began having those phantom pains that feel sharp like someone is stabbing me in the armpit. They hurt like hell but only last a few seconds.
Anyway, I do know from past experience though that once I begin the next workout, my muscles will feel better. That said, Lucia and I completed the "Speed 1.0" day 2, 25 minute workout and it wasn't so bad - again, because it's only 25 minutes! Yes, we both sweat bullets but I know it will be worth it. For the second day, I continue doing the modified workout, which really wasn't that different, it just excluded the jumping.
I am determined to get myself a T25 t-shirt after this challenge so I had Lucia take all the 'before' photos today. Talk about uncomfortable!
Today's food: Please remember that I am NOT on any special food diet. I am working very hard to cut out calories, sugar, and carbs but have not given them up completely. In order to make this program work, I need to be able to stick with it. If I remove food, the program won't last. If I take baby steps and make small changes to my diet every day, I have a much better chance of living a longer and healthier lifestyle because I won't crave the things I am missing and then fail at this whole challenge.
Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs
Lunch: Veggie burger with onions, pickles, thin slice of cheddar, mustard
Snack: 1 mini snickers candy
Dinner: Bloomin' burger, fries, pina colada, apple crisp desert - hey, we were celebrating a major milestone today - I had no choice!
What I did today to better my diet: For lunch I chose a veggie burger over a regular burger and I included mustard on my burger instead of ketchup. Ketchup is loaded with sugar! Also, after my very bad snack choice, I removed all the halloween candy from my house!
